26 Great George Street - Ground & First Floor ( + Basement), Leeds, LS1 3DL

Description
Built in 1865, the premises comprise two originally separate buildings in the Gothic Revival style. In the mid-1990s, the famous Firkin chain opened the Felon and Firkin microbrewery and pub on the premises, closing in 1999. It was later taken over and re-branded as Irish pub O’Neill’s and latterly Shenanigans.
The proposal is to retain the former Shenanigans pub and the adjoining Victoria pub in their current configuration. The remainder of the former hotel and upper parts of Shenanigans has planning approved to be converted into 54 No. student residential dwellings, with works now commenced. The 2 ground-floor commercial units will be handed over once the redevelopment works have been completed for tenant fit out in September 2024. The Victoria pub will be run by Whitelock's in partnership with Kirkstall Brewery.
